The internal energy of an ideal gas is a function of its __________ only.

The internal energy of an ideal gas is a function of its __________ only. Correct Answer Temperature

The internal energy of an substance is given by
$$\eqalign{ & dU = CvdT - \left \cr & {\text{For an ideal gas, }}PV = RT \cr & {\text{So, }}\left( {\frac{{\partial V}}{{\partial T}}} \right)p = \frac{R}{P}\,\,{\text{and }}\left( {\frac{{\partial V}}{{\partial P}}} \right)T = - \frac{{RT}}{{{P^2}}} \cr & {\text{Hence, }}dU = CvdT \cr} $$
So internal energy is only an function of temperature.
